What the critics say
Critics praise Parvathy's grounded, exceptional performance anchoring a taut thriller that refuses to sexualize its nurse protagonist, though several note the second half drifts into procedural rescue-thriller territory with a heavy-handed score and a less tense ending.

Derived by Filmi
78
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
